Today we went to Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros. Minute Maid Park is a dome like the Minnesota Twins and the Toronto Blue Jays. There is a difference between Minute Maid Park and the two other fields. The Twins and Blue Jays’ domes only have dirt around the bases. Minute Maid Park’s actual field is like any other field.
The Astros old dome, the AstroDome, was the first baseball dome. The AstroDome was the 8th wonder of the world. Instead of grass, the AstroDome had Astroturf. It was built in the early 1980’s.
Minute Maid Park’s main entrance is a restored train station. THE last train ran through Union Station around 1970, but there was no exact date. Minute Maid Park was opened in 2000. It has a seating capacity of 40,976.
We got to go into the owner’s suites. The one suite had a bunch of Astro’s memorabilia. Today, the Astros had a home afternoon game. Because of that, we couldn’t go down on the field or in the dugouts. WE did get to go down to the seats behind home plate. There are four special seats. Obviously, they are going to be some of the best seats possible. These four seats are for the owner of the Astros and his wife, and George H. G. Bush and his wife, Barbara. After finishing our tour we went into the team store (gift shop). We got back to the motorhome and went to the clubhouse, ate, and back up to the clubhouse to play pool.
